We returned to KOA for our lunch as part of our daily routine, where we spent time talking about how our training sessions went and what our plans would be for the next day; all were excited for our community project plans.
In the afternoon, we visited our local community project where we split off into teams to help with different jobs, one group helped with the tearing down of an old roof and another group helped with painting doorways and door frames and the last group assisted in the classrooms with nursery rhymes and helping the children with their handwriting of their ABCs.
The students were enthrilled to see us and even performed a presentation of prayers and songs dedicated to the work of Welling School on both tours over the last 2 years, which described how Welling have improved their fitness and social skills and included personal stories of the positive effects of our time in Uganda. Tears of pride and joy were shed by almost all and the agenda came to a close with a summary speech by Robbie.C.
The evening started with a cold soft drink outside a local supermarket where some of us choose to give them with some local kids that were watching close by.
A certain individual had an unexpected hair cut.
New hair, New me, Newman.
After a dinner of Uganda's favourite, mash and rice, we returned to our houses to spend time with our brothers and sisters playing card games and chatting about the families we had become a part of.
All the teams are looking forward to progressing our teams over this coming week.
Signed, Fiona
